First became popular: The term was coined in 1890 in reference to locks that fell over the forehead, though we are much more familiar with the quiff as one of the most dominant styles of the 1950s.Legendary loyalists:James Dean, James Franco, Rock Hudson, Conan O'Brien, Elvis Presley, Morrissey

Made iconic by Elvis Presley, revived in the '80s and then again in the '90s, the quiff has maintained a steady stream of devoted fans since its debut. This cool vintage hairstyle works best with thicker hair and requires a cut in which hair is longer in the front than it is in the back. Using pomade, the sides of your mane are slicked back and the front is combed straight up then flipped to the center-back of your head to create a puff over your brow. Puffs range from tame for everyday wear to dramatic for fearlessly fashionable men.
